Andy Murray interview about Boxing

19 year old scot in not supporting england shocker...

I assume you support scotland in the football?

 

Can't argue with that at all. As for the people slating the Welsh- I'll point out that growing up in a place like Bristol you see more than your fair share of Welsh people around; after all, they are only just across the bridge. Having come into contact with plenty of Welsh people, although it pains me to say it, if I'm being honest I'd say they are more easy going and less pent up than the English are.

Also, on the subject of Andy Murray- isn't this a boxing forum? Just a thought. In fairness to the guy, apparently when he did that interview in which he slated the English national footy team, the reporter as good as set the guy up and then sensationalised Murray's comments beyond what they were originally intented as - a harmless bit of banter. Lighten up people (apart from the dude who's mate was beat up, you have a reason to dislike the dudes who did that but not the Welsh as a whole).

 

murrary has done wonders for his profile this year i used to find he lacked character but in my opinion he has shown bundles this year both on and off the court and with regards to the interview it gets a big thumbs up from me its not often a sportman gives an interview about a sport other than his own and he does talk quiet knowledgable about boxing

 

I like the fact that the other night he was going mental after winning against Wawarinka, letting it all out yet five seconds later when interviewed he was back to classic Scottish monotone

 

One of my all time favourite boxing memories is being at the Harrison-Polo fight, a babyfaced Andy Murray was there & we all sang "THERES ONLY ONE ANDY MURRAY"
Scotty Harrison & Andy Murray in the same arena, I thought I'd died & gone to heaven:thumbsup

Anyway, whats with all this hating on Andy Murray, anyone who stumbled upon this forum would think we didnt all get along for some strange reason!

 

I bet you havent got an indian mate, & you just made that up to make me look worse, & make you look more socially trendy & SO cosmopolitan in the process:deal

 

Exactly, he says what he thinks and doesn't care how its percieved.
Would people rather listen to corporate robots like Tiger Woods? Good on the kid.

 

Aapperently Murray GOT 18,000,000 viewers on the BBC the other day? What a joke! any man who likes Tennis over Boxing is either very gay or extremley mentally challeged. It really pisses me off how the BBC won't show pro Boxing. To think I pay over a hundred pounds a year for a broadcasting network I don't even watch.... EVER!!! and they won't even show live Boxing. ITV are a load of **** too!

Rant over.

 

Murray is ****ing great.

He has that winning mentality that everyone should respect. So much passion, drive and determination and he deserves everything he will achieve in the game.

Most of the haters are English people who don't like the fact that a Scot will become the first Brit for many years to win a grand slam and that "tiger tim" didn't quite have the bottle or talent to do it.

Sad ****s.

 

Murray is sound, just a normal guy, great player aswell, have followed his career for years and he has improved big time since Wimbledon last year, love watching him play, the US Open was fanastic viewing as was his ATP Masters seires win against Djokovic in Cincinatti(sp?) last year

Sportswise for me i go for Football-Boxing-Golf-Tennis in that order both watching and doing.

 

Took this from his bio from his own website which he's written himself. Seems like a sound pound, especially the bit about the boxing.

There's some pics meant to be in this which he has commented on;

Hey guys

We’ve decided to update this bit now for the new website.

So, the birthday stays the same; I was born on the 15th May 1987 in Glasgow. You’ve probably read that I spent most of my early life in a little place called Dunblane in Scotland.

Still got family living up there, so it still feels like home to me. I’ve got my own place in London now; fine by me as it’s close to where I train.

I started playing tennis very early, around the age of three. I definitely remember having a mini-racquet when I was two: a bright green thing with multi-coloured strings. Probably still a decent racquet for someone like Treacle.





Here's me and Jamie in the back garden at home, looking pretty good.

We got on well most of the time, but we were kind of competitive from an early age at most things....


(pic of him and his brother wrestling on a bouncy castle.)


Don't worry, ref stepped in to stop the fight....

So, I used to knock sponge balls off the wall till my mum got fed up with it and got us a Swingball for the back garden. Swingball’s pretty good work, and we played where we could...





That's us on a beach in France, with Kelly. She was from our campsite. Hello Kelly, if you're reading...

Jamie was well into his Wimbledon stuff, but you’ll have to read the biography on his website for that…

He’s a good player too; he was one of the top players in the world at under 12 level. He was pretty much the no. 3 in Europe (under-12), behind Nadal and Gasquet. Even beat Gael Monfils in his first tournament abroad. Not bad work.

Back to me.

I’ve always been a stylish kind of guy, and I think this Bart Simpson jumper proves that....



I'm about six in that photo I think...



OK, so this is me a few years after the Bart jumper, smashing one down the line...

Not sure if you know this but I played a lot of football when I was a kid.

I think it’s really important kids have the chance to try loads of stuff, and we were lucky like that.

Glasgow Rangers were interested in me, but It was always going to be tennis for me, even though my granddad played for Hibs. I love the fact that it’s just you and your opponent on a tennis court; I guess that’s why I love boxing too.

So, six years on from the Bart Simpson jumper and I’ve finally got some clothes that look decent.





That's me in my own kit after winning the Orange Bowl in Florida.

When I was 15, I left Scotland to train at the Sanchez Casal academy in Barcelona; It was getting harder and harder to push myself at home, so it was the right move for me.

I met Carlos at Sanchez, and we’re still pretty good friends. You can learn more about him here, or read his blogs here. Spain was great for me, apart from meeting Carlos.

I guess it all started picking up when I was 17 in 2004. I won the US Open boys title when I beat Sergiy Stakhovsky.





He took it pretty well…

Me and Jamie got to the semi-finals in the doubles too. Good effort from us.

I won the BBC Young Sports Personality as well. Flew back from a tourney in Spain for that one. Remember getting to the hotel with about 30 mins to get changed, but got stuck in the bathroom. Guy from reception had to bust the lock with a knife to get me out. Quality effort.

Made it to the red carpet in the end...

Er....





...less said about the suit the better huh?

So, I got called up for the Davis Cup squad also that year. Didn’t play, but that was a good moment.

Picked up a few Backgammon lessons from Tim.

Actually turned Pro in 2005, and made my debut in Davis Cup debut, which made me the youngest guy to ever represent Great Britain.





Me and David Sherwood beat Erlich and Ram in the doubles rubber. Bit of an upset, so that felt good…

That’ll do for my biography; everything else is quite recent.

You can find out lots of other tennis info about me on the site. There’s stuff on my schedule, my results and stuff, so have a good look around.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far, and if you’re thinking of supporting me as of now, good effort from you!

Andy

 

Look. lets all forget our differences & get behind the proud scot, OOPS brit!

In all seriousness though, get behind Andy Murray everyone. For me.

 

**** that Scottish **** and **** you yer Scottish twat.

He said something about the English Football team once and my murderous intentions towards him will never subside, I just hope that one day I can give to him what he deserves and take his life for saying he didnt support England.

Unless he wins then its alright

 

you were half right, i do have an Indian mate but i was never robbed by Indians, it was just to point out what a similar situation would be. Anyway, i think you're a good poster Dunky, but surely to **** you don't actually believe that:

a) Alan Carr was having anything other than a laugh when he said the thing about Murray (He's a comedian, albeit a **** one)

b) Those people who were supporting Murray at Wimbledon were the EXACT same people who sent him death threats

Come on mate get that chip off your shoulder!
